Free Music Review: Awesome Traditional Irish Music
Hit: 5 Stars

I have been using the CD for my daily yoga practice. Great traditional Irish music. I always love the band so it doesnt matter which CD, I always love theirs. My favorites are Peggy Gordon and My Lagan Love.

Home Poster

Almost as famous for their killer cheekbones as their astounding musical chops, this Platinum-selling Irish family band (sisters Andrea, Caroline and Sharon plus brother, Jim) has cut a major swath, garnering an international fan-base with their Celtic-flavored electrified pop and feisty live shows. They decided to cut an album of mostly traditional songs as a memorial to their mother, Jean, a musician and song collector who died in 1999. But as with Sinead O'Connor's 2002 Sean-Nos Nua, their treatments, while perfectly authentic, also reflect their more usual style. The opening selection, a spooky lullaby called "My Lagan Love", features martial-sounding drums, washes of parlor piano and banked strings straight out an Arab-Andalouse orchestra. "Peggy Gordon", about unrequited love, has a retro folk-rock back-beat that works beautifully with the plaintive vocals. "Old Hag" is a rollicking instrumental while the Irish-language "Buachaill On Eirne" and "Brid Og Ni MHaille", if a tad unidiomatic, do not lack charm. But the track that lingers longest in the ear is "Dimming Of The Day", a gloriously moving ballad from the pen of British singer-songwriter Richard Thompson. --Christina Roden
Fusing timeless pop-rock sensibilities with contemporary and age-old Celtic flavors, The Corrs' unique sound is Irish at its core and universal in its appeal. A quartet comprising sisters Andrea, Caroline, Sharon, and brother Jim, The Corrs popuarlity in the U.S. blossomed in the mid-90's and has thrived throughout a string of acclaimed releases. On Home, their latest album, The Corrs return to their roots-and their family legacy-with a selection of tunes lifted out of a treasured sonbook of the late Jean Corr. Driven by the siblings' passion to shed new light on traditional songs and airs, this radiant collection features the crystal clear production and brilliant harmonies for which the band is renowned. It also presents two tracks in Gaelic, marking the first time The Corrs have recorded in their mother tongue.
One year after their last studio album, The Corrs are returning full circle with their latest album Home. As the title suggests, The Corrs are back to fond beginnings, defining a journey that began 15 years ago. It is a record that is held close to the bands' hearts, compiled through a songbook of the late Jean Corr, and brought to life by the band's urge to bring new interpretations to traditional Irish songs. Featuring the BBC Radio 2 Concert Orchestra and working with orchestral arranger Fiachra Trench and producer Mitchell Froom, who has worked with The Corrs on three previous albums, the band set out to create an eclectic mixture of songs and instrumental airs. The mixture of traditional and contemporary, is one that is truly celebrated throughout Home. 12 total tracks. Warner. 2005.
The Irish Family Band Go Back to their Roots to Create an Album that is Near and Dear to their Hearts. The Song Selections were Compiled and Inspired from a Songbook Kept by their Late Mother Jean Corr. It was Caroline Corr who First Suggested a Return to Traditional Form, Since "everywhere We Go in the World We Are Asked to Do More Irish Music." The Sessions Feature the BBC Radio Two Concert Orchestra with Arrangements by Fiachra Trench (Van Morrison) and Produced by Mitchell Froom. The Band Set Out to Create an Eclectic Mixture of Songs and Instrumental Airs. The Recording of the Album Over Six Months Became a Journey in Uniting Both Old and New. Traditional Irish Songs were Carefully Chosen and Set to New Arrangements While Remaining True and Faithful to the Core Emotion of the Originals.
